So I finally got 5 of my ships up to 2* and was able to do tier 2 of the ship building materials challenge. It says 225k but I was getting significantly less. Less than the tier 1 even. Either it's bugged or there's a large dumb range like credit heist.

I've made some suggestions, but I'm not really in a position of authority. Two_Step has a lot more ship stuff than anyone else on here I think. I haven't spent any money on ships, so I only have the basic stuff, and nothing over 3*, so it's hard to say so far. If I had to say right now, of the non P2W heroes with ships, Biggs and JC seem like the best. Boba is probably better, but rarely shows up in shipments, so save 400 to buy him anytime he shows up, cause he's supposed to be third best, behind Adv Tie and Falcon. I've heard that Fives is strong. I haven't heard much about Rex, Geo Spy, or Sun Fac's ships. Imperial Tie is probably the weakest ship so far, mostly because it has 0 protection. I don't know yet if it ever gets protection, so that's really weird. Clone sergeant also seems really strong for being G4 level 50. I've also heard that Wedge's ship is a bit weak. Ahsoka is really strong.


So, in short, I'd focus on Biggs, JC, and Boba, but generally bring up the star level of everyone together because of the challenges. I also don't think it's a waste to spend currency on Maul, Rex, or SF. They're all really strong.

Have you heard of any TI whales messing with Bistan's ship yet?

I haven't really been watching for anything with him, but I haven't seen anything. I'll ask around.

e: his ship is supposedly good, especially with a stealth team of maul and geo spy

Tie Fighters don't have shields, that's kinda their thing. It has high evasion to supposedly compensate, but the jury is still out on whether it's a suitable replacement.

Mine has 31% dodge (Tie pilot 7* gear X) and its unique gives 26% turn meter to Tarkinīs ship. It also hits pretty hard. Itīs also the only Imperial ship Iīll have for a while cause I am not getting the x1, no chance in hell making top 25 even if I spend 350k ally points I have.

Sadly the most farmable ship, plo koon, seems to be really really bad.

How dare you talk smack about the Koon!

But yeah it is pretty lame. His basic attack does about the same damage as JC and Biggie, but his other abilities are boring. Poor Plo. It has a nice paint job though?

Aside from the 4* Biggs, Android does tend to get the best stuff. I guess Apple had that one Ewok thing too.

Yeah, I'd definitely run the ST Wiggsdo with Shore (W lead)


e: I didn't keep very good track, but I think I spent about 40-50k AP for top 100. Getting 60 instead of 25 DV shards seemed pretty worth it...at some point there will be opportunities to get another 20. I don't think I could've gotten top 25 without spending 200k+ AP. Last I checked I was 1200 behind, and people were sprinting, so probably 1500 behind. At the end there, I was averaging 4/5 survival rate (I really need raid Han maxed to bring that up to 5/5 -- working on Shore then Boba). So, at ~43 points per 5k AP, I would've needed 175k more AP to finish things out. I should've done a few more attacks yesterday -- I didn't even pull out my droids, but I'm fairly happy overall.


Here's a pretty good tournament strategy from someone in TI -- it's basically what I've been doing


quote:

Ok, so here are some notes from my tournament experiment:

First, some baseline info. I started out on an "average" shard; I didn't see the final score of #1, but I think it was around 8.5k. Also, compared to most of TI, I have one of the lowest swgoh.gg rosters scores (50.03), but probably average for most players in the game. So, your results should be better than mine.

*Day one*: I joined four hours after the beginning of the tournament. Then, I waited until three hours before refresh to start battling. I used 35k points and got to rank 55 (with a score of about 3,500). By this point I was getting 7/3 points for each survivor/victim.

*Day two*: I did not battle until two hours before payout and had dropped to 232. I was still getting 7/3 points per battle, so dropping rank did not increase the battle payout. However, the opponents were significantly easier than they were at rank 55. I was able to gain 500 tournament points just using my Jedi counter team (IGD, Anakin, Aayla, QGJ, Ahsoka) with refreshes up to 750 for each character. Then, I switched to my Rebel team, but that did not last long before I was encountering teams that I could not beat efficiently. Then, I ended the tournament with my Empire team (EP, Shore, RG, Vader, and TFP). This got me an average of 4 survivors per victory. After spending an additional 40k for the day, I was able to return to #55. In order to get to 25, I would have needed about 200k more ally points...but I only had 140k, so I decided to stop and save my remaining points for the next tournament.

*Takeaway*: For the CI tournament, I zerged right off the bat and got to #5 in the first hour, and eventually spent 180k AP, but only finished around 135. This time, following the method outlined above, I was able to finish around 60 (didn't see my final score yet) and only spend about 75k points. I estimate that it would have taken my meager roster 275k to finish in the top 25. Extrapolating even further, I could have gotten up to #1 for approximately 675k AP (for a tournament score of 8,500).

I used all the AP I've been collecting since the last tournament and got in the top 25. I was too excited to see my actual placement but I got just enough to unlock Vader's ship. It also gave me enough ship currency to level the ship to 70! :swoon:

That's pretty amazing. I don't have any ships to level 70 yet, but I've been leveling 6-7 ships all at once...got several up to 65 thanks to today's payout.

I have my Sun Fac ship up to level 80 (5*), it is pretty good - 71K health/42K protection, 126 speed, 150% crit dam, 7635 physical damage. It is also at 41% armor (13% from SF), which seems to make a big difference for survival.

Yeah, I'm maybe thinking I should just start putting everything into Biggs' ship. His kit definitely seems the best of what I have available right now. Once I get around to unlocking the Zetas challenge, then I'll be looking at spending ship currency on P2W heroes like SF, Rex, and Maul, followed by their ships.

Yes! As I said recently I am running Wedge(L), Biggs, Lando, STHan, Shoretrooper(4*) and it's the strongest team I've ever had. Where before I'd get #1 in arena maybe once every 2 weeks if I was lucky I am getting it everyday with ease. Shoretrooper dies very fast but he does his job because it's better than one of your DPS dying.

That's what I've been doing. Biggs' ship is incredible and him being able to tank more damage is what's been winning me games. He has to stay on top.

One thing I noticed during this tourney is that Sun Fac is insane. I lost several matches to teams with him/wiggs/lando that were thousands of points below me in total power. How is he not a bigger part of the meta with his tanking, every round debuffing, and self-healing? Is it because he wasnt farmable until fleet shipments?

Also, if you are on a shard with whales, they all have SF and he's awful to play against.

If you can only buy one, it is probably not worth it. If you plan to buy a few, it'll probably give you a good jump in ship arena rankings. Also, chance to unlock Falcon, so there's that. I think from what I've seen it gives you shards for 4 heroes, and for their ship, and picks from any of the possible ships right now except DV.

Hey QGJ folks, please pay attention to rancor raid start times. Damage phase will start at either 9 am or 9 pm pacific time. Since this seems to be too complicated for some people, specifically Benny Skakey and Dotyman X, the rule is now to ask before dealing damage. If you aren't going to be around during the beginning of the damage phase but you want to get in some sweet sweet p1 damage, start the fight and then pause the app. As long as you start before the rewards are handed out, your damage will count.

Speaking of which, this is directed at the actual goons of QGJ: I would like it to be known that I think we should attempt another T7 Rancor soon to see how do. I feel like we should be able to beat it but we're really just kind of spinning tires by doing the T6 over and over.

If anyone has opinions on how/when this should be done please feel free to post here or mention something in the chat maybe (I probably won't see it).
